Patient Reviews
Feb 19, 2026
Instead of today’s norm of a high production medical financial business, his operation is just him and his great practice manager April. No PAs or a bunch of clerks. It was more like it used to be. Best medical experience in recent years and I have had a few. A review of his credentials is extremely impressive and he actually talks to you about things other than required for your procedure. I can’t imagine a more talented surgeon who is also so personable.
